The Pooncarie Ambo

Luckily for the remote town of Pooncarie, help is never far away thanks to the local volunteers who provide emergency support through the Ambulance Service NSW.

Katie Robinson lives on a remote outback
station. She initially joined the ambulance service four years ago, with
the aim of learning what to do in the event of an emergency situation out on
the farm or involving her young children.

Living on a remote station, it was important
for Katie to learn first aid, but she took this many steps further, when she became
an ambulance officer. Now she’s an
important part of the Pooncarie Community and plays an integral role in helping
people with serious injuries and illness.

A mother of 3, Katie lives on Jamesville
Station, she attends many training sessions provided by the NSW Ambulance
Service, ensuring her emergency skills are ready to intervene in any situation and
to provide life saving care until the Royal flying doctors arrive.
